[QUOTE="MarkyH, post: 968895, member: 73780"] The only change I would make is Kruis / Itoje. Ignoring Nowell, Wilson if they are injured. No problems with the backs, Slades a fantastic 13, a great runner, wonderful pass and has a lot of game nous. Similar to Vs Ireland in the 6N we will play a lot of left and right depending on Farrell, with Slade as first receiver. Tuilagi as much as a decoy, and will no doubt pop up in the 13 channel lots to run at the young Australian playing there. Farrell also plays a lot of intense KO rugby for Sarries. His mindset should be strong, and he's back at 10. Expect a big game from him. We're not playing 9-10-12-13 rugby, I said it during the 6N and I'll say it again now. Yes, it went wrong with game management, but we know how to identify that now and hopefully we've learnt. I feel for Ford, as I think hes been our stand out player so far, and would have no problem with the Ford, Farrell axis either, but he's on the bench and he will come on, and with JJ too we've got exciting options to change the game if we need to. Lack of wing cover is a concern, but we've got players with pace and skill and intelligence. So I'm not going to cry about it. And, despite folk saying this is Lancaster esq, messing around with our back line, this has been EJs go to since the start of the year. This isn't new, and its not a surprise. Not sure about the Aussie line up, exciting too I guess :/ [/QUOTE]
